Do you think I will get fired?

Question

I started at the Meijer's gas station about 3 weeks ago and I called in sick today, because I have a horrible migrane. No one answered my call because it was only 7 am and I had to work at 8 am so I left a message. Do you think when I go in tomorrow morning I will get fired? What if they didn't hear the message? I'm too afraid to call back!!

Answer 3

Call now and keep on trying to reach them.  Explain what happened (don't forget the message part).  I'm sure they'll understand.

Answer 4

I think you should at least try to call back and show that you have a concern.  They will apprecite it, and it'll show them that youre not just blowing off the day at work whether or not you have a legitimate excuse.  And no I'd say you probably wouldnt get fired, but since you are so worried.. just call them...  Youre spending time on here anyway (which is probably aggravating your headache by the way because of the glare from the screen).  

Answer 5

Your best bet is to call back!

You want to make sure they got your message. Even though a few hours has passed, if you can get in touch with someone and conform that you are feeling ill and that there was a message left, you should be fine.

If you get in contact with someone, at the most the punishment will most likely be a lecture of the stores policy (call 5 hours before your shift starts etc.etc.)

However I must add, that if they fail to receive your message and you neglect to call back then that could be grounds for termination. Its considered a "no-call no-show".
